A systematic review of asymptomatic infections with COVID-19

Zhiru Gao et al.

Summary: Since the outbreak of COVID-19 at the end of December 2019, it has caused significant harm and challenges to over 200 countries and regions worldwide. Many patients with COVID-19 are asymptomatic or have only mild symptoms, yet they can still spread the virus, making screening for asymptomatic infections difficult and complicating national prevention and control efforts.

Sandra Westhaus et al.

Summary: Wastewater-based monitoring showed the presence of SARS-CoV-2 genetic traces in different raw wastewaters in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. However, it was suggested that wastewater might not be a major route for transmission to humans. Further validation for enveloped viruses in wastewater is needed.

SARS-CoV-2: sewage surveillance as an early warning system and challenges in developing countries

Deepak Panchal et al.

Summary: Transmission of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) in humans can occur through respiratory droplets or contact with contaminated surfaces. The presence of the virus in feces and sewage systems raises public health concern, with monitoring through sewage potentially providing epidemiological data on COVID-19 trends. Tracking the virus in sewage could serve as an early warning system for public health authorities to take necessary actions.

Heterogeneity in transmissibility and shedding SARS-CoV-2 via droplets and aerosols

Paul Z. Chen et al.

Summary: Analyzing respiratory viral loads of SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV-1, and influenza A(H1N1)pdm09, it was found that the heterogeneity in viral loads is an intrinsic virological factor leading to overdispersion in the transmission of COVID-19. Cases of COVID-19 exhibit broad heterogeneity in transmission risk, with pediatric and asymptomatic infections also being potential sources of transmission.

Summary: Effective wastewater treatment methods, such as ultrafiltration and solar-assisted disinfection, can reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission. Biological wastewater treatment with micro-algae and various disinfection agents show potential in removing the virus and controlling its spread. Further research on COVID-19 specific disinfectants, environmental implications, and regular monitoring of transmission are needed to safeguard society from the deadly virus.
